Turn Type 1 into Type None

The JDRF One Walk makes its way to The Great Escape! On Saturday, May 11, show your support for the cause by participating in the family-friendly JDRF ONE WALK. This 2-mile walk will help raise awareness and funds for the Northeastern NY Chapter of JDRF, an organization dedicated to improving the lives of people with Type 1 Diabetes. You are invited to walk, donate, and participate in the day’s family activities. Together, we will bring the local Type 1 community together like never before for one unforgettable experience. Get ready for one of the biggest family-friendly fundraising efforts in the area and with your help, raise over $500,000 to contribute to Type 1 Diabetes research!

We will kick off the festivities beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 11. The 2-mile walk officially starts at 11 a.m., and the route will meander through the park, exploring its charm and venturing into areas not accessible by the general public! Walkers will cross the finish line at the Northwood's Picnic Grove and enjoy some time to relaxing and grab lunch. Parking is free for all walk participants and shuttles will be available for anyone who cannot walk approximately 1 mile to the event location.

Join the fight by walking, donating, or participate in the day's family activities and fundraising efforts. For every $100 donated to the cause, The Great Escape will donate 1 ticket to the registered JDRF walker (capped at 4,000 tickets). Want to help but don't think you can reach the $100 donation? The Great Escape will provide a special discounted rate for admission for your efforts to enjoy all the thrills the Park has to offer on Saturday, May 11.
